It is native to Southwest Asia and Southeast Europe. The rich green, glossy, heart-shaped leaves of this hardy tree have fuzzy, silvery-gray undersides that shimmer as they turn in the wind. In early summer, clusters of small fragrant creamy-white blossoms dangle from the branches, yielding nectar that attracts (and intoxicates) bees. Each flower cluster has a conspicuous wing-like bract at its base. Small, beige, ovoid fruits follow the blooms. In autumn the foliage becomes greenish yellow. This oval to pyramidal tree has smooth silver-gray gray bark that becomes furrowed and gray-brown with age. Silver linden prospers in full to partial sun and fertile, deep, humus-rich soil. Established specimens are drought-, heat-, and pollution-tolerant. This beautiful linden is an ideal shade tree for parks, large yards, and sidewalks. It can also be used in allees and sheared hedgerows. Information source: www.learn2grow.com. Extra seeds The seeds are hand-selected. You will never receive fewer seeds than stated.
